The gas station one looks like the pump is stuck on, she doesn't look to be squeezing the trigger
NitroAfterDark
They make them to have ridges so you don't always have to hold it to pump your gas. She could've held it until one of the ridges and let go

The woman who thought her kids contracted a skin disease when it was really just a tan---has she never been in the sun or tan before? Lol

That "am i the real mom of my kid?" is just..ehh..no one is that stupid.

On average, people are actually of average intelligence. That's why it's the average.

Just like how everyone's dicks are above average size

It's unlikely a lit cigarette will ignite gas. The vapor is more flammable than the actual gas but a spark from a lighter will do the trick.

I also doubt the plugs floating in the pool would do any harm (to the guys) if submerged.

twoguns1994
That lady who tweeted about not getting aids cause shes white pretty much ended her life cause of that tweet. The Internet blew up over that
bufferkiller
The internet destroyed her for making a bad joke and not being a well known comedian beforehand. I've almost no social media presence now.
bufferkiller
Can't trust anyone online anymore.
ThePastmaster
Her day-job was PR Management, she had stand-up as a hobby IIRC and twitter was her stage for a few hundred people.
bufferkiller
That's why I added "well known" in there. She was the first person from Jon Ronson's book that I researched. She didn't deserve it.
ThePastmaster
Not one bit. But people like to shame others they think are morally reprehensible. Even if the victim is guiltless.
bufferkiller
Have you read "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" yet? Totally changed how I act on and view my online interactions.
nonsequitur
I have to believe that at least SOME of these are people joking.
Seanspeed
Many are joking around, many are just plain fake.
bufferkiller
Justine Sacco was, and that didn't stop it from ruining her life. That one bad joke destroyed her life, because people love to shame others.
ThePastmaster
I kind of liked it. >_> Nice piece of social commentary. Sad she got destroyed over it. :(
bufferkiller
People that knew her and her sense of humor got it, but someone took it and blew it up and they have no clue they ruined a life.
ThePastmaster
Yeah, some other guy with tens and thousands of followers that said: "Hey, look at this racist bitch." (Paraphrasing)
bufferkiller
Those that do stay aware of these actions tend to be proud, because they don't ever see their victim as a human. It's disgusting.
redsmerf
#10... Oh god, so true. Do you have high blood pressure? "No, it's good" *see blood pressure medication on their paperwork*
JoonasD6
Happens so often though. "Are you using meds?" "No." Just asthma inhalers, hormonal contraceptives, antihistamines and insulin. >_>
redsmerf
For the flip-side: *look at their chart, see x-ray results of spina bifida oculta and a spondylolysthesis* Why did the MD (continued)
redsmerf
(correction from above: What did the MD...) tell you the x-ray said? "Oh, he said they were normal." *mentally face-palming*
ThePastmaster
What's a spino bidof ocult and spoon-somethingorother-sis? o_O
redsmerf
Spondylolysthesis: one or more of the vertebra in the spine has shifted forward (in her case, about 50%)
redsmerf
Spina bifida oculta: the covering surrounding the spinal cord did close all the way, but the skin did
redsmerf
May also result in the lumbar vertebra being partially formed
ThePastmaster
Hmm. Okay. Thanks. :) Also: Didn't*?

No ones gonna comment on how Tracy's relationship status is "engaged" but she's writing to her new hook up from last night.
PaprikaSix
That was the least believable one anyway
ThePastmaster
It's either A. Cheating. B. Open relationship. or C. Her fiancée.
ABillionDucks
I don't think you are worried about "scaring off" your fiancée with your other cave.
ThePastmaster
RP. ;P
gandraw
Probably separated months ago but doesn't know how to change the status.

Some people do relationships like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Justine Sacco tweet was a joke that people took seriously and then ruined her life. Seriously, it was fucking ruined by the Internet.
TheWolfofUsersub
And this, kids, is why you should use "/s".
snowman520182
I was going to say this. It cost her her job and pretty much everything else.
NotJayForSerious
It is so fucked up.
ILieForPoints
Anyone remember the Jessie Slaughters Incident? Man, consequences were never the same...
justiina
It is crazy how one tweet can ruin lives nowadays. Poor woman.
NotJayForSerious
It really is. One bad joke should not ruin anyone's life.
BirdAndBearAndHareAndFish
Yep, all in the time it took her flight. But considering her position, it was a super dumb thing for her to say.
PirateKrissie
This.
NotJayForSerious
It may have been dumb, but it wasn't lose your life dumb. Not even close to lose your life dumb.
51CorgisInABar
I mean, she was a PR manager for a company. If ANYONE should know better, she should've.
RedDwarfIV
She did. She was making fun of Americans being "in a bubble" not caring about the African AIDS epidemic.

RedDwarfIV
After reading that... I havea new perspective on social media shaming. It's bullying, plain and simple. Putting others down to feel good.
NotJayForSerious
The best PR wizards in the world could not have predicted what happened to her.
51CorgisInABar
Seriously? A third grader whose got access to the Internet could have predicted that
NotJayForSerious
Do you know what happened to her? She didn't just lose her job, her life was destroyed. No one could have predicted that.

LiterallyYourMom
She ruined her own life. Why would you say that publicly?
NotJayForSerious
She was making a joke, and because she isn't a comedian known for that kind of joke, people assumed she is racist and attacked her.
LiterallyYourMom
"I was making a joke" isn't really an excuse though, especially in that format. She had a PR job, she knew better and did it anyway.
LiterallyYourMom
It's like the Twitter equivalent of "It's just a prank bro!"
NotJayForSerious
But she was a comedian. PR was her primary job, and she did standup on the weekends. Read her story. Not just the tweet and assumptions.
bufferkiller
That ain't no joke. I read Jon Ronson's book on public shaming and she was one of the examples he gave. She did not deserve any of it.
rusty6899
I read about the case in that too. It was awful what happened to her.
bufferkiller
The public's blood lust for shaming others disgusts me.
rusty6899
It was the sort of joke that might bring about an awkward silence and sideways glance if told in person, but online people are looking (1)
rusty6899
to display the most outrage in order to emphasize their virtue. The result is a million over the top expressions of hatred.(2)
NotJayForSerious
She really didn't. It was a bad joke, but it was not that offensive.
Vultee66
yeah maybe one or two people saying like "Nah ya dickhead" (In an austrialian accent) but not more than that
NotJayForSerious
Definitely not more than that.
myhappyanonplace
Idk I mean it seemed pretty offensive--when the diseases broke out black ppl and gay ppl were highly discriminated against bc ppl 1/2
myhappyanonplace
2/3ppl believed u had to be black or gay to get it and if u were black or gay u were a thought to be a carrier. I'm sure it was a joke but
myhappyanonplace
3/3 even jokes should be thought out sometimes, esp if ur a public figure (playing devils advocate--I personally don't care bout anything)

EXCELLENT book!

I've recommended it to so many people since I read it. Completely changed how I act on and view social media.
